2025 SpeedPlay

Don't let the name scare you. If you can complete a 2-mile run/walk (no matter the pace) and you are looking for a challenge or to change up your training, then SpeedPlay is for you! Besides, if you're running or run/walking on your own then you can go whatever pace feels fast to you!

The goal of our speed workouts is to make you faster and more efficient. But this might just be the thing you need to remind yourself that you can do hard things during a really unusual time. Through SpeedPlay you will learn how to execute and benefit from a variety of unique track workouts and how to maintain good form when running at a harder intensity. We will also address topics like ideal race hydration, dynamic warm ups, cool downs, and body maintenance products that supplement faster workouts.
